Hockey East moves to ESPN


Hockey East has announced new media deals with both ESPN and NESN. First is a six-year deal with ESPN to present the conference’s men’s and women’s games on the network’s television and streaming platforms. Beginning this fall, all home games will be streamed on ESPN+ including the post-season playoffs. The Hockey East Women’s championship will air on ESPN.

The ECAC also streams its game on ESPN+, an industry-leading sports streaming service that offers fans in the U.S. thousands of live sports events, original programming not available on ESPN’s linear TV or digital networks and exclusive editorial content from dozens of ESPN writers and reporters. Monthly subscription is $6.99 while an annual subscription costs $69.99.

Hockey East’s arrangement with NESN, which began in 1984, has been extended for multiple seasons.  NESN will televise at least 50 conference games each year including the men’s semifinals and championship game. All of the NESN games also will be streamed on ESPN+, enabling fans outside of New England to view the games.
